I'm posting this review as a heads up to all my fellow 10M fans on some rather substandard workmanship and quality control in evidence on this particular example. The 10M is one of my all time favorite models, at least the pre-1955 ones with lacquered keys and the standard neck tenon. I realize that not everybody agrees, but I am of the opinion that the later versions have a less deep resonance and an overly spread sound. By "spread," I mean that the tonal center is weak and lacks focus, with upper harmonics not supporting the tonal center and resulting in kind of a blatty quality to the sound. You can actually hear the difference doing the pop test. The early straight tone hole ones with the standard neck tenon are worthy peers of the rolled tone hole ones in terms of sound quality. Unfortunately, the workmanship is not always up to snuff. This 1951 example was problematic in terms of alignment and clearances, which led to problems keeping it tight and in regulation, and eliminating key noise. It was not until I overhauled it that I realized the root causes of the issues I was having with the horn.
Inadequate clearance between the G# articulation tab and the table keytouches led to the C# key opening slightly when the bell keys were depressed.
An excessive gap between the table B and Bb keytouches led to difficulty going from B to Bb. The problem was remedied by lowering the Bb keytouch. Not as elegant looking as having all in the same plane, but it works better.
The stack Bb key was misaligned southwestward, impairing functionality of the Bis key and making cup leveling virtually impossible until the alignment was remedied. Given the effort it took to align that key, I am quite certain that was a factory defect.
The G# bridge arm did not clear the Bb arm properly. The factory "solution" was to warp the F# key so the arm cleared the Bb arm, and move the G# key southward so the bridge contacted a higher part of the cup. That led to recurring problems with leaks on the F# key.
The side Bb key did not open fully, resulting in an intonation problem. Modification of both the keyfoot and the keytouch were necessary to get full opening.
The Eb tonehole was severely off-level, convex in the direction of the bow, and thickness of the chimney is uneven. The factory "solution" was to warp the keycup in the same direction. The bow had never been bashed in, it was a factory defect.
Palm D did not open fully, causing an intonation problem, and was misaligned over the tone hole.
Linkage clearances were often inadequate for installation of sufficient material to counteract key noise.
Some tube-to-post fits were on the loose side. Fortunately, this did not occur with rod-mounted tubes, so it wasn't consequential to key play.
Some keycups remain imprecise in their alignment over the toneholes in a manner that cannot be remedied without re-soldering posts. That could be consequential for someone going for a bleeding edge setup with precisely-fit resonators.
The factory defects on this horn included some egregious bloopers that never would have left the factory under decent QC. As you may have guessed, these were very time-consuming problems to diagnose and fix. I am not sure what the context of these workmanship and QC issues is. Conn was doing defense contracts related to the Korean War and may have been in a temporary crunch, or Conn's long-term quality decline may have already been underway. If you are considering a Conn from the early 1950s I suggest you check it out thoroughly for manufacturing defects and plan your overhaul budget accordingly.
Consider the two star rating as tough love for a horn that would never have been worth what I put into it if it didn't have that great classic 10M sound.


I was recently visiting with someone who had a website which included some YouTube videos on their home page. I had been to the site and when I clicked on those videos I was taken away from their website to the YouTube website to view the video. Now, if you are linking directly to a YouTube video from your website you may be interested to know that there is a way to embed YouTube videos into you page in such a way that the visitor NEVER leaves your site to view the YouTube video.
If you are new at embedding videos on your site you may want to watch both of the videos on this page. If you are more experienced you may want to watch only the second video, further down the page.

Crunchyroll Loves rolls out Junji Ito street wear collection
Anime Horror fans, if you've ever felt that you've gone unnoticed, Crunchyroll has you covered with their latest roll-out of "Crunchyroll Loves," its in-house streetwear brand. Digging deep into their capsule collection, Crunchyroll Loves celebrates everything horror with exclusive artwork from legendary horror artist Junji Ito.
Rolling out today, this collection will only be available exclusively on the Crunchyroll Store, and once it's sold out, it will not be restocked. This latest collection is a continuation of Crunchyroll's partnership with the Junji Ito line, which debuted at this year's Crunchyroll Expo. The artwork that was featured on the apparel available at Crunchyroll Expo, was made specifically for Crunchyroll, and this latest capsule collection will be built upon those initial designs.
"Junji Ito creates devastatingly beautiful horror manga. Our goal was to translate his art into wearable, streetwear pieces that are accessible to all his fans. Ito-sensei is really happy with the execution, so I'm excited to see the reception from customers!" said Kristin Parcell, Director of Commerce at Crunchyroll.
The Junji Ito capsule will be a five-piece collection that will include one hoodie, two long-sleeve shirts, one t-shirt, and one jean jacket. Staying true to horror form, each piece will be drenched in black, with each one featuring some of Junji Ito's prized artwork. Fans who have followed Junji Ito will recognize some of his most iconic creations, as they're whisked away from the manga pages and onto this line of street apparel.
The Junji Ito collection continues Crunchyroll Loves ongoing dedication, to provide anime enthusiasts with a line of apparel that gives them a chance to express their love for the genre. Previous Crunchyroll Loves collections have included designs commemorating "Konosuba," "Re:Zero," "DARLING in the FRANXX," "Mob Psycho 100," "Bananya," "RWBY," and others.

KYOTO - As working-age Japanese depart the countryside in droves, leaving behind graying populations, rural authorities are trying to counter the trend by turning idle real estate into homes for city dwellers seeking a quieter lifestyle.
The Kyoto Prefectural Government is among those providing advice for people who want to move in, as well as subsidies for remodeling vacant properties.
Masaki Aota, who runs a nature school in Nantan, initially faced difficulty finding a home after deciding to move out of the city of Kyoto.
Having quit his city job, he began working in nature-rich Nantan in spring 2014. But he had a hard time finding a house suitable for his family and the installation of a wood stove.
Relocation to the countryside is quietly becoming a steady trend in Japan.
Furusato Kaiki Shien Center, a Tokyo-based nonprofit organization supporting rural transitions, said it received 26,426 inquiries in 2016, up nearly fourfold from 2011.
The first challenge is finding a suitable place to live.
According to the internal affairs ministry, there were about 8.2 million idle properties across Japan in 2013, or 13.5 percent of the total. This ratio is said to be growing.
Behind relocation-seekers face a supply-demand gap in the housing market, said Asuka Chiba, a member of a "relocation concierge" group that promotes rural relocation in Kyoto.
People who seek to move from cities to rural areas want to rent in the beginning so they can get used to life in a new environment. But rental properties of this type tend to be few and far between.
Another issue is that owners of idle properties often worry what their neighbors think if they rent to "outsiders," Chiba, 32, said.
In view of the situation, the Kyoto Prefectural Government enacted an ordinance in April 2016 to promote relocation to designated rural areas.
Under the policy, local governments survey the available properties, provide subsidies for renovating houses and deploy farming advisers, while helping newcomers map out their moving plans. Other municipalities are following suit.
Gifu Prefecture is providing up to ¥1 million in aid for nonresidents who move into unused houses in its rural areas, and Wakayama is providing subsidies for renovating idle houses or removing unwanted furniture from them.
"In order to ready unused houses for rent, cooperation and trust-building are necessary between the municipal government and local residents," said Kenji Kono, 56, who leads a regional promotion group in the Chii district in the city of Nantan.
"Houses may not be in use. But their owners may still have a family Buddhist altar there. There are various reasons owners cannot rent out their properties immediately," he said.

Literary Event Focus June-Sept 2016
Published on 09/06/2016 by Jean Roberts
Shakespeare's quarcentenary
2016 is the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare's death. Small and large celebrations have been taking part throughout the country, from individual events in bookshops and libraries to the opportunity to have one's photograph taken with a cardboard cut-out of Shakespeare at the London Book Fair. Eminent authors such as Howard Jacobson, Anne Tyler and Margaret Atwood have been commissioned to 'rewrite' some of Shakespeare's best known plays in their own voices, using modern settings.
At Christie's, an important collection of Shakespeare papers, including the rare First Folio collection of his plays, has been sold to an American collector for £2,479,000. The First Folio was published in 1623 and contains 36 plays, 18 of which had not at the time appeared in print before. It fetched £1.87m, well above its pre-sale estimate of between £800,000 and £1.2m. It was sold along with later editions published in 1632, 1664 and 1685.

An advance team of four experts from the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) have arrived in Syria, at the invitation of the Syrian and Russian governments. A second team arrives today (13th April) and all are to start work tomorrow, Saturday 14th April.
They are to investigate claims of an attack using chemical weapons on 7th April, which the US, UK and France, from thousands of miles away, immediately accused the Syrian government of carrying out. This in spite of the fact that, unlike the US, UK and Israel, all Syria's chemical weaponry – much sold to them by Western countries – were shipped out of the country in 2013, under OPCW supervision with other international observers present.
Syria and Russia both requested an FFM team to be dispatched after opposition groups claimed that the Syrian army executed a chemical weapons attack there, alleging there were scores of deaths and hundreds of casualties.
Both countries have claimed that the incident was "staged" with the purpose of galvanizing Western rebel backers after the US earlier announced that it was planning to pull out of Syria, and they say that there may not have been any chemical use at all.
In a television interview on Thursday, French President Emmanuel Macron said, "that chemical weapons were used [in Douma] at least with chlorine, and that they were used by the regime of Bashar al-Assad," but he did not disclose the nature of the evidence.
A day earlier, the US said that it was "still assessing intelligence" and that it was "confident" that Damascus was involved.
The FFM experts, whose mission was set up in 2014, are not entitled to place responsibility for the incident on either side, but they are expected to say if and what chemicals were used, and how they were disseminated.

Profile, video: Doug Griffiths in it to build a better future
Jason Fekete, Calgary Herald 01.09.2012
Alberta Progressive Conservative Leadership candidate Doug Griffiths was photographed on July 12, 2011 with his wife Sue, and his sons Austin (5), right, and Brady (2), left, walking in Prince's Island Park.
Colleen De Neve / Calgary Herald
"Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity . . . To seize everything you ever wanted - one moment . . .
Would you capture it or just let it slip?. . ."
Parked in his white Ford F-150 pickup truck outside community halls across Alberta, Tory leadership candidate Doug Griffiths has carved a unique pre-game ritual for himself. The 38-yearold psychs himself up before speeches and leadership debates by blasting the catchy lyrics of Eminem's tune Lose Yourself on his truck stereo.
"You better lose yourself in the music, the moment . . .
You own it, you better never let it go . . .
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow . . .
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo . . ."
The rapper's smash hit has turned into a bit of an anthem for Griffiths, the youngest of six candidates fighting to replace Ed Stelmach as Progressive Conservative leader and premier.
Griffiths, the Battle River-Wainwright MLA first elected in a 2002 byelection, initially wasn't certain whether to throw his hat into the leadership contest. He wondered about the impact on his wife Sue and two sons Austin and Brady, ages five and two.
But he realized it could be his only shot at the party crown; his one chance to truly fulfil his political raison d'etre and honour his campaign slogan - Build a Better Alberta.
"The moment, the music, but don't let it go. That's what it is - live for the moment," Griffiths says, citing the lyrics as he takes a break from playing with his kids in Prince's Island Park.
"There's no assurances I'll stick around for the next leadership campaign," he adds. "There's no guarantee I'll be (in politics) in 10 years because I'm not running for the sake of being premier. I'm running for the sake of my kids and their future."
The charismatic, baby-faced politician is a masterful orator and seemingly natural speaker. However, Griffiths admits he still gets some butterflies and turns to the music for a shot of energy before heading into speaking engagements or political debates.
"Only half of what you say in the speech is what's really important. The other half is the energy you have in it and the commitment you have for it," he explains.
Griffiths has been captivating Albertans in more than 300 communities across the province for a few years now, first in his sales pitch as the point man of the government's rural development strategy, and now as an author on how to ensure small communities thrive for the future.
His book, 13 Ways to Kill Your Community - which has sold around 2,500 copies since being published in November - is based on a speech Griffiths has delivered in town halls and community rinks in every corner of the province.
The MLA and co-author Kelly Clemmer (the editor of a weekly newspaper in Wainwright) warn in the book that strong communities demand such things as good quality drinking water, engaged youth, competitive taxes to spur business activity, regular upkeep on buildings, and attracting immigrants and other outsiders.
The book has become a staple for towns and small cities in Canada and the U.S. that are struggling to survive.
Officials in the small city of Creswell, Ore., population 5,031, have never met Griffiths but have turned to the book and the MLA's ideas as their inspiration for reviving their sleepy community.
"After I read the book, so much of this applies," says Helen Hollyer, publisher of the Creswell Chronicle, the local weekly newspaper. "It (the town) is economically stagnant at the moment."
Hollyer met co-author Clemmer at an annual newspaper conference and grabbed a copy of the book. She then urged civic officials to read it, and it is now being discussed by townsfolk. "I thought this could be the blueprint for some community and economic development," she adds.
Clemmer has known Griffiths for around a decade, first meeting him in the lead up to the byelection victory that sent him to the legislature. One thing instantly became clear: the man known as Griff had drive and charisma, he says.
Another strength of Griffiths, he adds, is also sometimes the MLA's political kryptonite - his willingness to debate important but politically sensitive issues. "There's no sacred cows," Clemmer offers. "He doesn't give you smoke and mirrors."
For example, the rural politician hasn't shied away from discussing the Alberta government's revenue challenges and whether a provincial sales tax should be considered.
"Maybe it's to his detriment because he wants to talk about it," he adds. "That's not always a popular thing."
Griffiths shrugs it off, though, insisting he's interested in doing what's best for Alberta's future, not necessarily what's politically expedient.
He says inspirational leadership and building stronger communities for the next generation are what's driving him to reach for the PC reins, even before he has ever landed a cabinet post.
Albertans, Griffiths believes, aren't necessarily looking for the next Tory leader to move the party left or right on the political spectrum; they simply want good ideas and someone to identity with in their next premier. "They're looking for dynamic leadership. They're looking for someone that invigorates them that they want to follow," he argues.
Long before he was rapping in his pickup or writing books, Griffiths was scampering around his parents' farm near Coronation, in eastcentral Alberta.
Brian Heidecker, the owner of the neighbouring property for decades, watched him grow up and is still paying close attention today.
A longtime business executive and current chairman of the University of Alberta board of governors, Heidecker has for years rubbed elbows with the province's corporate and political elite. But he remains a big supporter of the friend he believes will be a tremendous premier.
"Anybody who questions his ability" to be a great premier, Heidecker says, "clearly doesn't know his ability."
It's time Alberta moves to a new era of political leaders who understand the evolving province and relate to the increasing number of young families calling the province home, he says.
What stands out about Griffiths compared to the rest of the candidates is that he listens, never pretends to have all the answers and has a strong vision for Alberta, he says.
"He represents a new generation. He does not come with baggage," Heidecker adds. "He's the ideal candidate to take us forward into the next decade."
Griffiths' political foundation is one based on education - both his post-secondary studies and time as a teacher. He earned an honours degree in philosophy and an education degree from the University of Alberta, eventually teaching for three years at Byemoor School prior to his byelection win in 2002.
Education is one of his key platform planks and he launched his leadership bid at a school in Edmonton.
Griffiths lives on an acreage near Ardrossan, just east of Edmonton, and craves open spaces. The licence plate on his truck reads: RURAL1.
But many of the qualities on which Griffiths is selling himself - such as youth and deep-rooted attachment to rural Alberta - are also sparking questions as to whether he's saleable in big cities and ready for the province's top political job.
"I might not be known in corporate office towers but I'm known on every city street, every town street in this province. I think people underestimate that," Griffiths says. "That adds up to a lot. Not a lot of headlines but it adds up to a lot of votes. People will get to know me."

Biografia

Nacque da una famiglia di artigiani benestanti, il padre essendo impiegato in una polveriera.
Dopo aver frequentato la Prytanée national militaire di La Flèche e lScuola Speciale Militare di Saint-Cyr, entrò nell'esercito nel 1815 come sottotenente in un reggimento di artiglieria. I brillanti risultati ottenuti agli esami del 1819 gli valsero l'assegnazione al comando. Servì come aiutante di campo nella campagna spagnola del 1823 e nella spedizione di Morea 1828-1829.

Nel 1830 prese parte alla spedizione d'Algeria e al ritorno fu promosso al grado di chef d'escadron.

Dopo alcuni anni di servizio allo Stato maggiore di Parigi fu inviato nuovamente in Algeria come capo del comando della provincia di Orano col grado di tenente colonnello e ivi rimase fino alla guerra di Crimea, svolgendo un ruolo chiave in molte importanti operazioni.

La durezza del suo comportamento nello sterminare un'intera tribù araba nelle caverne di Dahra (o Dahna), vicino a Mostaganem, dove la tribù aveva trovato rifugio (18 giugno 1845), suscitò una tale indignazione in Europa che il ministro della guerra, maresciallo Soult, espresse pubblicamente la propria disapprovazione; ma il maresciallo Bugeaud, governatore generale d'Algeria, non solo approvò ma elevò Péllissier al grado di generale di brigata, grado che tenne sino al 1850, quando fu promosso generale di divisione.

Dopo le battaglie di ottobre e novembre 1854 davanti a Sebastopoli, Pélissier fu inviato in Crimea, dove il 16 maggio 1855 succedette al maresciallo Canrobert come comandante in capo delle forze francesi impegnate nell'assedio della città. Il 12 dello stesso mese fu promosso maresciallo di Francia.

Il suo comando fu caratterizzato da un'ininterrotta pressione sul nemico e da un'inalterabile determinazione a condurre la campagna senza subire interferenze da parte del governo di Parigi. La sua perseveranza fu coronata dal successo nell'assalto alla torre di Malakoff, l'8 settembre, che pose fine all'assedio e diede la vittoria alle forze anglo-francesi.

Massone, durante l'assedio di Sebastopoli partecipò alla fondazione della Loggia "Saint Jean de Crimée".

Al suo ritorno a Parigi fu nominato senatore, creato "Duca di Malakoff" (22 luglio 1856; l'unico altro titolo per campagne vittoriose assegnato da Napoleone III - sempre un titolo ducale - fu per la vittoria di Magenta nella campagna d'Italia, al generale Patrice de Mac-Mahon), e premiato con una rendita annuale di 100.000 franchi.

Dal marzo 1858 al maggio 1859 fu ambasciatore a Londra, ma venne richiamato in patria per assumere il comando dell'armata di guardia al Reno. Nello stesso anno divenne gran cancelliere della Legion d'Onore. Nel 1860 fu nominato governatore generale dell'Algeria, dove morì nel 1864.

Adopted In 2015, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development has 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs or Global Goals) with 169 measurable targets. The Agenda is universal, inclusive and indivisible, and calls for action from all countries and companies to improve the lives of people everywhere.
The UN Global Compact encourages businesses worldwide to adopt sustainable and socially responsible policies, and to report on their implementation. It identifies business opportunities to advance the SDGs through Action Platforms, the Blueprint for Business Leadership, Project Breakthrough for Innovation, and other research.
Many impact investors realize the value of aligning their investments with the SDGs. Doing so provides much-needed resources to achieving this global vision of people, planet and prosperity. It also creates a useful framework to contextualize and communicate impact objectives to various stakeholder groups.
The role of business and investing in achieving the SDGs will be more complex than abiding to sets of rules. Companies can use data monitoring and set baselines for local and regional goals, meetings needs for sustainability in their communities through the power of data.

Biografia
Lewis MacDougall è nato a Edimburgo. Suo padre è un banchiere in pensione. Sua madre è morta nel dicembre 2013 di sclerosi multipla, poche settimane dopo la sua morte Lewis è stato scelto per interpretare il ruolo di Pennino, migliore amico di Peter, nel film Pan.  Prima dell'apparizione sul grande schermo, ha recitato solo piccole parti negli spettacoli della sua compagnia teatrale, The Drama Studio, specializzata in spettacoli improvvisati piuttosto che quelli con copione.

Carriera
Ha debuttato sul grande schermo nel 2015 interpretando Pennino in Pan, diretto da Joe Wright, dopo aver partecipato ad un provino nel distretto di Morningside a Edimburgo. Nel 2016 interpreta il suo primo ruolo da protagonista, Conor, nel film di Juan Antonio Bayona, Sette minuti dopo la mezzanotte, adattamento dell'omonimo romanzo di Patrick Ness. Il film è stato selezionato in concorso al Toronto International Film Festival. Nel 2018 interpreta Henry, al fianco di Vera Farmiga e Christopher Plummer, nel film Un viaggio stupefacente, presentato in anteprima al South by Southwest.

Curiosità
In Sette minuti dopo la Mezzanotte, il regista, Bayona, ha deciso di non consegnare a Lewis la pagina del copione che descriveva l'ultimissima scena, perché voleva che il ragazzo avesse una reazione naturale e autentica.

IT investments help institutions comply with federal data protection standards.
Since Jan. 1, higher education institutions that engage in certain types of federal government research have been required to meet new standards governing data security. The mandates, outlined in the National Institute of Standards and Technology Special Publication 800-171, are designed to protect controlled unclassified information, such as research data, student records, patient information and more.
Most major research centers, such as the University of Arizona, the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Northwestern University, had little trouble meeting that deadline. But compliance issues in general are a big and sometimes vexing part of their jobs, say CISOs.
A major challenge to compliance efforts is simply the sheer number of regulations that apply to university research, from the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and HIPAA to European Union Data Protection regulations, and many more, says UW-Madison CISO Bob Turner.
The University of Florida, for example, created its Research Shield network in part to meet Federal Information Security Management Act requirements and to be eligible for a $40 million federal research grant.
For many universities, there's a lot at stake. Billions of dollars in research funding go to institutions each year, and related projects can be a major component of faculty careers. That's not to mention, of course, the discoveries and developments that researchers contribute to the fields of medicine, business, social sciences and other areas.
All of these factors, in addition to formal compliance mandates, push institutions to ensure that research data is secure.
To learn more about security strategies in higher education, read our magazine feature, "Higher Ed Security Pros Get Strategic to Neutralize Threats."

Twenty-seven "rising stars" will make their professional debuts in a five-week repertory season that is open to the public beginning Wednesday, April 13, but are not total unknowns. Since the fall of 2009, they've been watched by viewers in 89 million homes and 125 countries around the globe as a result of the telecast of their master craft seminar, "Inside the Actors Studio," hosted on Bravo TV by the school's Dean Emeritus James Lipton.
"ALL-STAR" MFA CANDIDATE LINE-UP: 20 ACTORS, 4 DIRECTORS, 3 PLAYWRIGHTS
FREE THEATER PERFORMANCES, GENERAL PUBLIC INVITED

Plays, Scenes, Books by: Edward Allan Baker, Maria Irene Fornes, Michael V. Gazzo, Eugene Ionesco, LeRoi Jones, Arthur Laurents, Bryony Lavery, David Lindsay-Abaire, Drew McWeeny & Scott Swan, William Saroyan, Sam Shepard
NEW YORK, NY, April 4, 2011 – This year's 27 Master of Fine Arts (MFA) candidates of the Actors Studio Drama School at Pace University includes:
Young Simba from Broadway's The Lion King and the originator of the role of Jack Scott in Disney's stage version of High School Musical
Reigning Miss Black USA (2010)
Loud Nanny in The Nanny Diaries (The Weinstein Company)
Musician featured on the double platinum album The Light & The Shadow, which launched hip hop into Israel's mainstream

Tri-linguist in English, French and Spanish

All are accomplished and have multiple credits on the big screen, small screen, on stage and in the wings. They have founded their own theater companies as well as performed, written and directed for others. But they have collaborated together these last three years in New York City, united as they pursue their dream and refine their craft as actors, director or playwrights in the only Masters' theater program endorsed by the renowned Actors Studio … two express subway stops from Broadway.
These 27 "rising stars" will make their professional debuts in a five-week repertory season that is open to the public beginning Wednesday, April 13, but are not total unknowns. Since the fall of 2009, they've been watched by viewers in 89 million homes and 125 countries around the globe as a result of the telecast of their master craft seminar, "Inside the Actors Studio," hosted on Bravo TV by the school's Dean Emeritus James Lipton.
This bird's-eye view of industry greats also comes with red carpet/Schimmel Theater stage interview privileges, allowing the students to pose questions "one-on-one" to Oscar, Emmy, Golden Globe and Grammy award winners they someday hope to emulate.
One of the most frequent questions James Lipton himself has been asked these past 13 years by interviewers is "Who is the guest you want the most?"
Lipton got his wish during this past academic year, when Bradley Cooper, a graduate of the Actors Studio Drama School, Class of 2000, walked across the Schimmel Theater stage and sat in the chair opposite him and his blue cards in an episode which aired Monday, March 14, 2011.
During his graduate school years, Lipton was Cooper's dean; Elizabeth Kemp and Andreas Manolikakis were his teachers. Lipton, Kemp and Manolikakis are still very much part of the Actors Studio Drama School program today. Along with Bradley's star, theirs has risen as well with Manolikakis now Chair of the Actors Studio Drama School MFA Program and Kemp currently Director of its Acting Department.
Having Cooper return was not only an exciting experience for current MFA students, but also a powerful testament as to their future capabilities, truly taking "the world is your oyster" to heart.
In addition to Cooper, the MFA candidates have received words of wisdom from Lipton Inside the Actors Studio guests such as: Judd Apatow, Jason Bateman, Halle Berry, Jon Bon Jovi, David Bryan, James Cameron, James Carrey, Sean Combs, Danny DeVito, The Family Guy Cast, Colin Firth, James Franco, Ricky Gervais, Kate Hudson, Denis Leary, Laura Linney, Conan O'Brien, Amy Poehler, Daniel Radcliffe, Diana Ross, Mickey Rourke, Richie Sambora, Charlie Sheen, Brooke Shields, Christian Slater, Hilary Swank and Tico Torres.
The 2011 Actors Studio Drama School Repertory Season performances will take place at the theater at Dance New Amsterdam, 53 Chambers St., just north of City Hall, Wednesdays through Fridays at 8 p.m. and Saturdays at 3 and 8 p.m. from April 13 through May 14. The full schedule and information about plays, actors, directors and playwrights can be found online at www.Pace.edu/ASDSRep
Admission is free, but reservations must be made in advance by phone or e-mail as seating is limited. The 24-hour reservation line is: (212) 613-6209 and email is ASDSRep@pace.edu
The works are considered educational and may not be reviewed.

"The season is produced, managed, and designed by union member industry professionals, creating an actual Off-Broadway experience that prepares our graduates with practical experience as working professionals before graduation," said Manolikakis, a Lifetime Member and a member of the Board of Directors of the Actors Studio.

"The Actors Studio Drama School Repertory Season is real repertory where our students work as a repertory company – acting, directing and writing the material – creating collaborations that can last a lifetime," underscored Manolikakis. "Unlike other MFA programs' productions, we provide each and every student actor with the opportunity to be the 'lead' in a production. In many other programs, a few students carry those roles while the rest 'carry spears."
The Actors Studio Drama School at Pace University is the only MFA theater program officially sanctioned by The Actors Studio. The entire faculty is chosen and approved – and the curriculum is designed and supervised – by the leadership of The Actors Studio through its Curriculum Advisory Committee, including the Presidents of The Actors Studio, Ellen Burstyn, Harvey Keitel and Al Pacino. All students — actors, directors, playwrights – train side-by-side as actors. All students participate in the Craft Seminars known to the world as the Bravo Network television series, "Inside the Actors Studio," hosted by James Lipton.

All individuals have a place in Shambhala society. There should not be a sense of outer and inner, but rather a sense of being included in the compassionate embrace of heaven and earth.

Shambhala is a diverse community. Our centres and groups are located in different regions of the world and reflect different nationalities, cultures, languages, ethnicities and races. In addition, people who come to our centres may have different religious faiths, follow different spiritual traditions or teachers, or have different paths of practice and opinions. They have different ages and genders, as well as different sexual orientations, and physical, perceptual and mental abilities.
What we share as a community is a desire to lead sane, dignified and confident lives. Through the practice of meditation, we cultivate the capacity to be fully open to our experience and the ability to respond to everyday life situations with greater clarity and respect–respect not only for our life situations and ourselves, but for all individuals, social groups and cultures as well.
The Adelaide Shambhala group is not perfect. We do not mirror in every way the characteristics of the people who live in our community nor do we fully understand the different experiences each person has had. But it is our sincere intention to welcome everyone who comes to us. This intention is at the very core of the Shambhala Buddhist teachings.
The teachings held by the Shambhala mandala challenge us as individuals to recognize and dissolve barriers that separate us from others. As a community of practitioners, we strongly encourage understanding of and respect for the basic goodness inherent in all individuals, social groups and cultures … We are committed to the teachings of our lineages, to the practice of meditation and meditation-in-action, and to genuine communication. As part of our intention to create enlightened society, these also help us gain insight into others' realities, appreciate diversity and work with conflict. We strive to foster a welcoming atmosphere free of prejudice and to develop an inclusive and enlightened society with facilities fully accessible to all persons. [from 'Shambhala Aspirations on Diversity, Accessibility and Compassionate Conduct'.]


We live in an Instagram world where people post beautiful photos of their fabulous lives – their exotic vacations, their thoughtful, romantic partners, their hard rock abs. Running through the feeds of some today's biggest "influencers" can leave you wondering where you went wrong. Why aren't you yachting in Capri this summer? How come you don't treat yourself to matcha lattes every morning while wearing a matching pajama set and a perfectly messy top knot? Why aren't your teeth that white?
The truth is that when it comes to social media, seeing should not be believing. It is a highly curated place where people only post what they want you to see. Look a little closer and you'll see that most of these photos are filtered and Facetuned with an inch of their lives. The "candid" shots of your favorite social media star laughing while casually pulling back a strand of hair probably took 30 minutes and 150 tries to capture. Then, it was edited to remove any sign of imperfection so that by the time it reaches your feed, you can't help but be jealous of the image in front of you because it seems so effortless when life so rarely is.
Real talk. Nobody is posting about the fights they had with their significant other. They don't share pictures of themselves when they're feeling insecure or exhausted from a long day or bloated from too many french fries and too little sleep. They don't post close ups when they get a big pimple or shots of themselves purchasing jumbo tubs of Miralax. They don't share the heartbreaks, the disappointments, and the rejections that each and every one of us face. And because we don't see it, we don't think it exists. We get tricked into believing that while our lives are hard and filled with struggle, there are people among us who simply have perfectly charmed lives. We get sucked into the highlight reel, and we forget about the outtakes.
So this is your reminder to stop comparing your hustle to their highlight reel. Everybody in life goes through ups and downs. The people who have made it big probably got there through hard work, numerous rejections, and lots of trial and error. Nobody in this life has it easy, no matter how Pinterest-worthy their life may appear to be. So, when you find yourself playing the comparison game, remember that your hustle may not always be highlight material, but it's always worth the effort, and it's 100% real.

Netflix's New Anthology Titled 'Ankahi Kahaniya' To Release On September 17
Entertainment, TV/Web
Apoorva Singh
Popular streaming giant Netflix on Wednesday announced its new anthology titled 'Ankahi Kahaniya', set to release on September 17.
The upcoming anthology is directed by filmmakers Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, Abhishek Chaubey and Saket Chaudhary and will chronicle "three unheard and untold tales of love". 'Ankahi Kahaniya' features an ensemble cast of Abhishek Banerjee, Zoya Hussain, Kunal Kapoor, Nikhil Dwivedi, Palomi, Rinku Rajguru and Delzad Hiwale.
Ashwiny, known for her intriguing stories and captivating narratives, will return with a tale of love that blurs the lines between reality and fantasy. It stars Abhishek with the story credited to Piyush Gupta, Shreyas Jain and Nitesh Tiwari.
A post shared by Netflix India (@netflix_in)
Talking about her film, she said, "With every story, I want to challenge myself as a storyteller and create varied emotional connections between the viewers and the characters that will last in their minds for a while. I hope with this story I can captivate the imagination of movie lovers with questions of untold and unanswered emotions every human goes through. I am very glad that our story will reach the world with Netflix belief and impact."
Based on the Kannada story 'Madhyantara' by Jayant Kaikini, Abhishek's segment features 'Sairat' star Rajguru and Hiwale.
The filmmaker, known for acclaimed movies like 'Sonchiriya' and 'Udta Punjab', said his film is set in the 1980s Mumbai and explores young love in the world of single-screen theatres.
"This is a story of the city in the 1980s and young love in the world of single-screen theatres. When you're young and caged in Mumbai, looking for love's a sweet escape. And what's better than finding it at the movies, however fleetingly? This one's especially close to my heart. And I'm really excited for everyone to watch it!" said Abhishek.
Saket's short film features Kunal, Zoya, Nikhil and Palomi. The story is penned by Zeenat Lakhani and Saket, widely known for helming the hit 2017 Irrfan Khan-starrer 'Hindi Medium'.
Speaking about the upcoming project, Saket said, "Love stories have always been one of my favourite genres. It is a pleasure to be a part of Ankahi Kahaniya's thriving story theme. It was great working alongside a talented set of directors and collaborating with Netflix for this anthology."
Pratiksha Rao, Director of Films and Licensing at Netflix India, said that the team is thrilled to announce 'Ankahi Kahaniyan'.
"As we expand our film slate in India, we are thrilled to announce our new anthology film, Ankahi Kahaniyan. These unexpected love stories are brought to life by incredibly talented filmmakers, cast and crew, and we can't wait to bring it to our members," she said.
The upcoming anthology is produced by Ronnie Screwvala and Ashi Dua Sara.

Happy 10th birthday, Retro Renovation!
Yup, today is the 10th birthday of the blog. My first story was, predictably, about a toilet. Over the next few days and weeks, I'll be doing some looks back. But for today, well, I'm gonna think about everything. And hey, I'll welcome some well wishes!
I'm a little (way) late to the party, but congrats/happy birthday, Pam and Retrorenovation from a longtime reader and fan!! I can't even tell you how valuable your website has been to me, as a resource for refurbishing my 76 year old house, as compelling food for thought, and as good old-fashioned entertainment! Pam, your writing is such a joy to read, and I have learned so much from your tireless, sometimes crazy and always fascinating, research: from hudee rings to tesselated VCT patterns, and amber shellac to mudcaps!!
I thoroughly enjoyed Kate's thoughtful in-depth contibutions, as well. (Whoo, Kate!) Her careful, step-by-step documenting of her heroic bathroom remodel was absolutely epic, no joke! I'm in awe!
One aspect I particularly enjoy here are your 'bigger picture' essays that spell out why it's important, from an environmental as well as economical amd aesthetic perspective, to learn to 'love the house you're in' and approach renovations with an eye toward preserving the overall harmony of the house, using older, or better quality, materials (when safe), instead of supporting the vast home improvement racket that seeks to brainwash us into viewing everything as disposable and the TV shows that try to con us into feeling inferior for not being up-to-the-minute in the latest trends. Ugh. I'm also thinking of your excellent post about original windows and the vinyl replacement window industry. What a disservice they have done by defacing countless buildings across the nation, never to be the same again!
Pam, I truly believe you have been a leading voice helping to usher in a new era where average people everywhere are starting to appreciate the better quality of yesteryear compared to the terribly cheap but expensive materials, furniture, and appliances made today (and all the waste associated with them). I guess it took all us kooks' favorite aesthetic becoming the new hot trendy thing, but whatever it takes to stop the house flippers with their sledgehammers and granite and greige! I may be overly optimistic, but I'm feeling a change happening on this front.
Annnyway…just wanted to say many thanks and congratulations, again!!


1. UKIP has topped the UK poll in this year's European Parliament elections and won 24 MEPS.
UKIP received more votes than any other party, winning over four million votes and beating Labour and Conservatives into second and third place respectively.
The scale of the victory was so complete that UKIP won a seat in every constituency in Great Britain – including Scotland, where Nigel Farage has traditionally received an extremely hostile reaction.
This is the first time that a party other than the Conservatives or Labour has topped a national poll in a century.
Nigel Farage paid tribute to the "people's army of UKIP" and called it the "most extraordinary result in British politics for 100 years".
2. The Lib Dems have been all but wiped out and Nick Clegg is having to defend his position as party leader.
The Liberal Democrats started the night with twelve MEPs but finished the night with just one of them: Catherine Bearder in South East England.
For the first time in years senior Lib Dem figures, including some of the party's MPs who are facing electoral disaster, are calling for the resignation of Nick Clegg.
Clegg, looking haggard, has admitted that his pro-EU election strategy hasn't worked but insisted he stood up for what he believed in. Unfortunately the public seem to have rejected that.
3. Labour did well – but not brilliantly.
Labour finished in second place nationally and gained around seven MEPs, taking it to a total of 20.
But it took a strong performance in London to ensure it finished a few hundred thousand votes ahead of the Conservatives. The main opposition party would usually hope for a much stronger result in a European Parliament vote this close to a general election in the hope that momentum was building for a future victory.
But instead UKIP has stolen Labour's thunder.
4. The Conservatives slipped into third place and don't seem too concerned.
David Cameron's party fell behind Labour in terms of the total number of national votes and lost seven seats, reducing it to just 19 MEPs.
But the Conservatives don't seem that bothered by their third place: party officials had been careful to dampen down expectations in advance and brief that they expect voters to punish the party of government.
Their hope that is that many UKIP voters return to the Tories in time for the UK general election in May 2015.
5. The Green Party finished fourth, pushing the Lib Dems into fifth place.
The Green Party vote remained fairly stable 1.2 million votes, equivalent to 7.9% of the electorate. But the Lib Dem collapse – and the freak performance of a rebel UKIP party (see below) – was enough to help them win an extra MEP.
6. The BNP has been wiped out.
Nick Griffin lost his European Parliament seat and his party's other seat followed suit. For them this far-right party the game is over.
7. UKIP would have done even better were it not for a party with a similar name.
"An Independence From Europe", led by ex-UKIP politician Mike Nattrass, appears to have taken tens of thousands of votes from UKIP supporters who were confused by its name.
In the process it probably to cost UKIP one or two MEPs. Farage has since told Guido Fawkes that he wants the Electoral Commission to be abolished because they allowed this to happen.

Who could take the top job at the Met Police?
The next leader of the Met Police will bring some challenge as some of the biggest contenders have recently retired from their roles. At the moment there is a lack of big hitters within Policing in the UK.
Despite the job carrying a whopping £275,550 there is no stand out candidate, this is not due to the potential capability to perform the role but rather lack of experience within the top flight of policing when it comes to the role of Chief Constables due to relatively youthful Chiefs.
This time last year there would have been a number of front runners, we'd be struggling to say who would be staying in the lead of the contest, But due to those stepping aside and taking retirement there.
The appointment will be by royal warrant and will be made by the Home Secretary Amber Rudd. However, she will need to take into account the views of the mayor of London.
It is expected that the Met Police Commissioner for the first time will be a female leader. With the biggest front runner being Sara Thornton. It is believed the other two front runners will be Mark Rowley & Stephen Kavanagh.
Front runners for the @metpoliceuk Commissioner but who are you edging your bets towards! #leadership #Police #wecops
— Police Hour (@PoliceHour) December 9, 2016
Sara Thornton is the chair of the National Police Chiefs council since 2015 and was the chief constable of Thames Valley Police for eight years. Sara has already spent some time with the Met during her policing career. It is highly believed that Sara will be the first female Police Commissioner within the Met Police.
Mark Rowley is currently the assistant commissioner with in the Met Police, He is the national lead on counter-terrorism and the top internal candidate being considered for the role. He was Chief Constable at Surrey police. His role within Counter Terror means he spent many hours with Theresa May while she was home secretary and now Amber Rudd who will ultimately decide who the next commissioner will be.
Stephen Kavanagh Chief Constable of Essex Police has also served within the Met Police within the role of counter-terrorism command. He is currently the digital lead for policing, It has been argued that it is too early for Kavanagh as he policing career remains youthful.

Adieu Maude (France) ou Vivre à un (Québec) () est le  de la saison 11 de la série télévisée d'animation Les Simpson. C'est un des épisodes-clé de la série.

Synopsis
Pendant une course de NASCAR, Maude Flanders tombe du haut d'un gradin et meurt. La famille Simpson aide Ned Flanders et les garçons à passer les durs moments qu'ils vivent. Homer décide de réaliser une vidéo sur Ned pour l'envoyer dans un club de rencontre. Ned va alors rencontrer de nombreuses femmes qui ne lui plairont pas jusqu'à une jolie chanteuse de rock chrétien, Rachel Jordan (qui réapparaitra dans l'épisode Le Miracle de Maude).

Références culturelles
 Le titre original fait référence à la chanson de Gilbert O'Sullivan, Alone Again (Naturally).
 En 1999, peu avant la réalisation de l'épisode, trois spectateurs sont tués par une roue perdue lors d'une course d'IndyCar au Charlotte Motor Speedway. Le tracé du circuit est d'ailleurs similaire dans l'épisode.

Notes
Avant la diffusion de cet épisode, la FOX annonça la mort imminente d'un personnage important et aimé des Simpson. Quand le pneu tombe sur Lenny, les téléspectateurs ont cru que le personnage en question était lui.
Le départ prématuré de l'actrice  Maggie Roswell à la suite d'un litige avec la Fox se serait traduit par la disparition du personnage de Maude Flanders de la série. Ceci est démenti par la Fox qui rappelle que l'actrice avait déjà été remplacée. Quoi qu'il en soit plusieurs épisodes sont ensuite consacrés au deuil de Ned Flanders.
